I still haven’t finished Gundam IBO but I was reminded of my very correct headcanons today

But have you considered: history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man? Go Go Godzilla.

Want to gently suggest that when a rando on social media says "history shows X" it usually is either 1) just wrong or 2) simplified to the point of meaninglessness

Pretty sure I've heard the song several hundred times over the last 2 decades and based on the lyrics I can remember, I'm still very unclear on what it is that the Spice Girls really, really want. Total messaging failure.

If I wanted to move on my MMC Bruticus (some wear and tear, incl. upgrade kit) I wonder how much I could get for it

"Well, you know what they always say. Kill 'em-- BANG --with Kind ...Ness. Kindness. Oh jeez I thought that would flow better. Huh. Gotta do something about that! Ha! Anywhoo, where's that bomb?"

the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

I wonder how far ahead of the national economy I'm running by not owning a car.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

In honor of NYC's new shame stickers for those that don't move for street cleaning, I offer my own design for bike lane blockers, free of charge:

IS DR SANTOS A VRISKA????

Today marks a very special day in science fiction literature. May I present to you, "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury:

Why the fuck do so many people who should know better want to engage in a little conspiracy-brained anti-modern crankery as a treat? A MAHA-curious liberal/leftist will tell you their version is less dangerous than the one favored by reactionary centrist Atlantic writers (transphobia). It isn't.

In the United States, on January 20, 2025, the air, the food, the medicine, the water were all as clean and pure and safe as they have ever been in this country. Yeah, sure, there were and are real problems, and our army of nerds in lab coats devoted to solving them was the envy of the world.

You actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.

Real creatures which appear disproportionately often in children’s fiction compared to actual life: FROGS. I last saw a frog in the wild five years ago (and I go out to parks with ponds and lakes a lot), but every one of my toddler daughter’s books has a frog in it. They’re the quicksand of animals.

One thing I will NOT miss about the UK is the absence of flavored seltzer water. British people do not know what I am talking about when I want it and the corner stores do not have it.

"i just learned something insane from a stranger. why doesn't everyone know about this" is a great style of post, right up there with "why is nobody talking about this" alongside a link to one of the biggest news outlets in the world talking about it. nobody does ignorant curiosity like us humans do

Only just noticed @kuuga.bsky.social going goblin mode in the background of the first image

Wow. Honestly, a powerful message.

I got into fewer Pitched Battles at TFN than I anticipated. Interactions with @wadapan.bsky.social and @toastergrl.bsky.social were entirely cordial. Thank goodness for the battles of wits and wills with @skeletonizer.bsky.social, I was afraid I was losing my edge.

Some really good stickers on the poles this year

It seems like Target has completely failed to fulfill even a single online preorder for Starscream or Prowl, and canceled them all instead. I managed to find Starscream IRL but Prowl evades me once again, bogus.

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.
